The small Île Saint-Louis (map)
in the middle of the River
Seine, in the
middle of Paris,
is among the French capital's most charming
neighborhoods.

Much more tranquil than the neighboring
Île de la Cité,
the Île
Saint-Louis is a place
to stroll, sip something in a café,
browse the interesting shop windows, linger
over dinner in a fine old-fashioned restaurant,
and most certainly to visit Berthillon, Paris's
most renowned glacier (ice cream
maker).

On your way to the Île Saint-Louis,
cross the
Pont Saint-Louis (St-Louis
Bridge) from the Île
de la Cité in order to enjoy
street performers and musicians who set up
temporary shop on this pedestrian way.
